I have a Seagate GoFlex for Mac 1.5T since 2 year and working perfectly until last week. My iMac dont recognize the Hard Drive Seagate anymore.!!

either the goflex dock has gone bad (would need a second goflex drive to test) or your hard drive has gone bad. If you can test that your goflex dock is ok - your disk has probably gone bad.

I do not understand why it's not recognizing your GoFlex but I will say I myself use the Thunderbolt USB cable with my GoFlex and I've never had a problem with it. If you do not use the Thunderbolt cable then go to Seagate to download the driver so it will recognize your GoFlex. I DO recommend the Thunderbolt cable for FASTER transfer with any or ALL devices. Hope this helps ya and good luck !

Have you tried a different Thunderbolt cable? They have tiny circuit boards inside their ends, maybe one has failed? I haven't had any issue with my dock yet after two years of casual use.

Sorry, butI do't know iMac...Sometime I've the same problem with my HD, resolved with Disk Utility Repair Permissions or or Disk.If in Disk Utilities you don't see the disk, find to link the disk with an USB 2/3 cable with a termination like GoFlex..

I wish I knew what was happening. I installed this with Yosemite (not having seen the incompatibility stated) and it worked fine. Then last week, it just stopped working. Tried new slot and still no dice. So even if it works right away, be aware that the card can stop working. My system report shows the card, it just won't recognize or mount any drives.

Will this work for a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 1 TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive STAC1000103

I'm sorry not to be able to answer you. My Iomega eGo Mac crashed before I could find out. It went Kaput. I bought a Seagate.

I installed 2 "Seagate Backup Plus 4TB USB 3.0 Black Desktop Hard Drive STCA4000100" and it seems to be working fine. I found it cheaper to pull them from the housings.

The drive work fine in a Mac. I had to buy an adapter, because the one that ships with it won't fit the Mac case. I bought it from Other World Computing.

the drive comes preformatted for windows so your mac can only read but not write you need to call seagate and have them provide you with the paragon driver for you mac.

Just to throw in my 2 cents here, the Disk Utility reformat mentioned above in Andrew's post is spot-on. The drive so far as been great to use. However, I'm running Mac 10.5.6 and it was immediately recognized when I first plugged it in: it mounted and Time Machine asked if I wanted to use it for backups... I did the reformatting anyway as the apps on board are no use to a Mac owner. BTW, the $99 price was unbelievable! Fingers crossed on reliability, Yikesboy

Seagate's website says NO. http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/portable-hard-drives/performance/goflex-for-mac-thunderbolt/ But, Apple's prices have dropped from $50 to $39 for 2 meter thunderbolt cable, and 0.5 m cable sells for $29. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD861ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-cable-20-m? http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD862ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-cable-05-m?

I'm sorry. I don't know. I had a drive cloned *for* me. I suggest you contact Seagate. They're awesome.

No, this is for mainstream PC's only. The website for Seagate has several external hard drives for Macs though.

I have been loking around for an external drive, and I've noticed they all fail! IMO the best way to gois to have 2 of the drives and do a periodic copy of each to each. I have a free agent on my mac and it has been working perfectly, but I am looking for a drive to back up between a PC and a mac. Two cheap drives may be more reliable than a single more expensive, since they all fail and you cant "pay out" of the uncertainty. Change that: Buy two expensive hard drives and dont even fool with the Seagates..

I am not an expert. I believe any Sata 2.5" hard drive should work. I have purchased several WD HDDs and Toshiba HDDs (2 of each) and they are all working perfectly. I use them for external hard drive storage and daily use. You might try to replace wit a Toshiba (but you surely can use either) as Toshiba is what Mac seems to use. The most important thing though is that its Sata 2.5"

I use Mac and I didn't have a problem. There is an additional download of NTFS on the Seagate support sight that might help but I didn't need it. I plugged it in and didn't have to turn it on for my computer to recognize it. There is a factory reset button on the bottom which you might try. If the unit doesn't power on it even when it's disconnected, it may be bad from the factory.

The first thing you have to do is to make sure that the drive is set to the format your MAC uses. It should work perfectly fine.

I am running Maverick on my machine and using a Seagate Backup plus drive with 3 TB. The description specifically said that it was compatible with OSX 10.9.1.. Good luck.

This is a hard drive meant to be installed in a server or Network Attached Storage. For performance sake, I would suggest getting a WD Black drive instead. That being said it should work just the same as this is a 3.5" hard drive, which is what is in this version of iMac.
